The Isaacs perform this live rendition of a Gaither classic, a prayerful song about dependence on the Holy Spirit. The lyrics draw from the biblical account of the Spirit descending like a dove at Jesus' baptism, then shift to a personal plea for strength and comfort. The singer confesses weakness and need, yet expresses trust that the Spirit will sustain them through life's difficulties. The repeated refrain emphasizes kneeling in humility and receiving the Spirit's refreshing presence. The song is a heartfelt expression of reliance on the Holy Spirit for guidance and endurance.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

The Bible it tells us in God's words so true

The sweet Holy Spirit is promised to you

It sat upon Jesus in the form of a dove

When John was baptizing God's dearly beloved


Sweet Holy Spirit I'm down on my knees

I am low in the valley, I am so weak you see

But I know I can make it, for I trust in thee

The sweet Holy Spirit is falling on me


Sweet Holy Spirit, oh how I love Thee

For being a comfort so many times and for strengthening me

For I could not make it across life's troubled sea

If the sweet Holy Spirit should ever leave me


Sweet Holy Spirit I'm down on my knees

I am low in the valley, I am so weak you see

But I know I will make it, for I trust in Thee

The sweet Holy Spirit is falling on me

So sweet Holy Spirit, don't ever leave me
